SeeDOS Upgrades and ADCL Calibrations available

 

The following table illustrates the available seeds and trade names to show the range of ADCL NIST traceable calibrations (click here to go to calibration list) available from SeeDOS for the check activity measurement instruments available from SeeDOS (click here to go to measurement equipment) and also to assist you in identifying available implant seeds.

RE-CALIBRATIONS : Re-calibrations are recommended every 2 years for both chambers and electrometers. This recommendation follows that of the AAPM , Task Group 40, published in Medical Physics. This is not a mandatory requirement, simply a strong suggestion for ensuring nothing has changed in your equipments measuring ability over time.

HDR 1000 Plus RECALIBRATION AND UPGRADE

Option One:

Send your HDR 1000 Plus Brachytherapy Well Chamber to Standard Imaging via SeeDOS contact. We will facilitate your HDR 192Ir re-calibration by the Accredited Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory - University of Wisconsin. Standard Imaging will examine your HDR 1000 Brachytherapy Well Chamber to assure its integrity.
Standard Imaging and SeeDOS  will include a six month extended warranty effective from the time of re-calibration.

 

Option Two:
HDR 1000 Plus Upgrade Option - for Increased Sensitivity

If you have the older version HDR 1000, SeeDOS/Standard Imaging will upgrade your HDR 1000 to the new HDR 1000 Plus design. The HDR 1000 Plus has a much less attenuating window which makes the HDR 1000 Plus 30% more sensitive than the HDR 1000 for iodine seed and palladium seed measurements, REF 91008. This upgrade would be important to obtain if your facility may be treating patients with the 6711 iodine seeds, or palladium seeds for prostate cancer. The HDR 1000 you currently have is not quite sensitive enough for the 6711 iodine seed and palladium seeds typically used for prostate cancer treatment.
Note; as this upgrade will invalidate current calibrations it is best to obtain this upgrade when your HDR 1000 needs re-calibration.


Note: if you currently have an HDR 1000 insert for caesium, P/N 70005, it must also be upgraded to P/N 70020 when you obtain the upgrade to the HDR 1000 Plus.

When you return your HDR 1000 for an HDR 192Ir re-calibration, it would be an excellent time to obtain this upgrade and add inserts and calibrations for low dose rate isotopes.


Additional Source Holders Available for the HDR 1000 Plus

70003 Source Holder for Caesium Remote Afterloading, 7.1 mm opening
70008 Quality Assurance Tool Insert
70009 Source Holder for Low Dose Rate Iridium Ribbons
70010 Source Holder for HDR Iridium, 2.2 mm opening
70016 Source Holder for Individual Iodine, Iridium, or Palladium Seeds
70020 Source Holder for Caesium. This replaces P/N 70005 which will not work with the HDR 1000 Plus Brachytherapy Well Chamber. A trade in is available, P/N 70020U.
70022 Source Holder for LDR Seed Batch Assay
70023 Source Holder for Measurement of RAPID StrandTM Iodine Seeds
70024 Source Holder for Mick® Cartridge
70026 Source holder for 5cc and 10cc MetastronTM Syringes
70032 Source Holder for Bard Express Seeding Cartridge

MAX 4000 Electrometer RECALIBRATION AND UPGRADE

 

Send your MAX 4000 Electrometer to Standard Imaging via SeeDOS contact. We will facilitate your re-calibration by the Accredited Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory - University of Wisconsin. Standard Imaging will examine your MAX 4000 Electrometer to assure its integrity.
Standard Imaging and SeeDOS  will include a six month extended warranty effective from the time of re-calibration.

 

If you require an upgrade of your MAX 4000 Electrometer for the new MAXCOMM software please contact SeeDOS who will facilitate your upgrade. If necessary send your MAX 4000 Electrometer to Standard Imaging using the address provided by SeeDOS ltd. Details of the new MAXCOMM software are shown below :

 

MAX COMM software is now shipping with every MAX-4000 or MAX-4001 Electrometer!

MAX COMM software is designed to give
advanced control and configuration options
to the SeeDOS Standard Imaging MAX-4000 or MAX-4001 Electrometer by enabling the user to specify and save multiple hardware configurations when taking measurements and working with those results. Operating with this program requires a MAX-4000 with firmware version 4.4 or higher or MAX-4001 with firmware version 1.0 or higher. Take advantage of the communication components in both library and measurement modes, and upgrade your MAX today!

Features

  • Utilize a library of stored calibration factors
  • Step through calculations automatically
  • Calculate temperature and pressure corrections
  • Control the electrometer remotely
  • Retrieve raw measurements from the MAX-4000 or MAX-4001
  • Export data in Excel® readable format

To ensure your electrometer is compatible with the MAX COMM software, please contact SeeDOS for more information on how to upgrade the firmware in your system to the latest version.

E-mail us at cwalters@seedos.com for technical questions regarding MAX COMM or for software version updates.
